The oldest map of the New World in the world Wald Semiller is the oldest map of the New World in the world. Martin? Waldseemueller is a German map maker. Him and Matthias In honor of Florence explorer Amerigo? Weiss Pucci paid tribute to it and used it in the map of Waldseemuller? America? On behalf of the United States, it is generally considered to be the first person to use this word on the map.
Martin? Waldseemueller made three expeditions to the new continent discovered by Columbus from 1499 to 150 1 year, which proved that this continent is not a part of Asia that Europeans generally believe, but a newly discovered continent.
Then German cartographer Martin Waldseemueller wrote on the map? America? The name of (drawn in 1507).
The map of American birth certificate is precious for two reasons: 1) It is one of the earliest printed maps in Europe, and 2) It is the first map marked "America" in the world, hence the name America.
As we all know, America was discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1492, but Columbus was bent on thinking that when he arrived in Asia, all Indians he met were Indians. But one of his sailors, Amerigo? Weiss Pucci thinks this is a new world that nobody knows. After they returned to Europe, Amerigo's logs were bought by the Frenchman Herzog von Lothringen, who ordered the monk Martin? Martin Waldseemuller drew a new map of the world based on this log book. This is the origin of this map.
This is really quite complicated: first of all, Columbus was Italian; Then, the Spanish royal family funded his expedition; Since then, Amerigo's "log book" has drifted to Portugal; Later, a French duke bought this magazine in Portugal; Finally, monk Martin? Wilder simler was a German, and his maps made Columbus's discovery spread all over Europe. The whole process took place at 15, from 1492 to 1507.
This map is unprecedented. As mentioned earlier, it marks the existence of the United States for the first time. At that time, Wilder simler didn't know how to name this land, so he named it America after the author of the log book.
1507, the first edition of map I * * * printed two versions, one large and the other small. The large version is suitable for hanging on the wall, and the small version is suitable for putting in a photo frame. About 65,438+0,000 copies of each map were printed. At present, the large version has only 1 copy, and the small version has only 4 copies.
In 2003, the Book of Congress bought another version of the same map drawn by Waldseemueller for $654.38+0 billion, and called it? American birth certificate? .
This name also applies to this 5 10 year old version. In addition, there are some strange things in this map now, such as very huge Sri Lanka and very small India. Japan appeared in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, but Australia was not discovered by Europeans.
The wall chart was lost for a long time until Father Joseph? Fisher accidentally found the original map in the library of a castle in Walter in 190 1, and the map made by Waldseemuller was rediscovered. 200 1 The local government reached a purchase agreement with the Library of Congress. In May 2003, the Library of Congress of the United States bought it from the descendants of this German nobleman at a cost of100,000 dollars and put it in the lobby at the gate of the library.
